About this cottage rental
This beautiful year round home has over 2400 square feet of exquisite living space and is a short walk to the shores of Lake Michigan. Designed in Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style it features wide open spaces and cozy side rooms. French doors separate living areas and stained glass accents the windows. Step onto one of the decks to enjoy the colorful gardens that surround this half acre private yard. No shortcuts were taken in furnishing the home blending the comfort of Crate and Barrell with treasures from local antique haunts and nearby art galleries. Cozy up on winter evenings with steam shower and wood burning fireplace after cross country skiing or touring local wineries. Fall offers bike trails, apple picking, bonfires and nearby Notre Dame football. Fly a kite or play bocce ball on the beach in the spring and float on a raft or body surf in the lake on a warm summer afternoon. The home is ideal for family time or romantic getaways in any season...during these months of COVId it offers a warm recluse for working or learning from home. We have recently added an outdoor hot tub to make quarantining that more enjoyable.
Water Sports: While our family enjoys the simple life of sand and water we do recognize that some people like to boat. There is a marina in New Buffalo, 5 miles south of our property that offers docks for your boat. There are jet skis available to rent in Michigan City, Indiana, and the local boating store in New Buffalo rents canoes and kayaks. We have many inflatable beach items, boogie boards and beach toys for your use in our garage.
Off Season or Rainy Day Fun: We are never at a loss for a new art gallery or antique store to explore in Harbor County. The town of Michigan City to the south has a large outlet mall for the shopper in your group. East is Three Oaks, known for the Acorn Theatre and the Journeyman distillery, and north is Bridgman, home to Warren Dunes State Park and the famous 'Tower Hill'. They have well groomed cross country ski trails, marked hiking trails and a toboggan slide in the winter. Apple and fruit farms are dotted throughout the county for berry picking and several area wineries offer tours and tastings. There are massage and day spas in New Buffalo and restaurants for any palate. You'll need more than one trip to the Harbor County area to do it all.

We returned to Mellow Yellow for our summer family vacation and had the most amazing time. The house is lovely with plenty of space to relax along with the most gorgeous landscaping. The owners are very gracious and keep the kitchen stocked with everything you could need. We spent most days on the private beach which is only a few blocks away. We can’t wait to come back!

Warm, welcoming home with amenities like a hot tub, steam shower and big wood-burning fireplace made our stay perfect! We may just make this winter destination a habit!

What a wonderful location, property and amenities. Kitchen was stocked with anything you could need, the beds and bedding were comfortable, and the landscaping on the property was beautiful. A short walk to the beach, and they had wagon and some beach toys that made it much easier.
The owners were approachable and kind. We didn’t have any issues while we were there, but my impression was that if we did, they would have done what they could to make it better immediately.
